I seriously doubt that the majority of users is pleased by a blacklisted pcspkr. It isn't great that Ubuntu defaults to something stupid, the bell always needs to be on for diagnostics, that isn't something you can re-eanble on demand, let alone that it is e.g. used to signal incoming mail by the _PC speaker_, while the "regular" speakers or headphones play music only, but never ever the bell. Laptops might not have a PC speaker. GNOME and other desktop environment users, who migrated from Windows might have crap such as desktop sounds enabled, however, a majority of Linux users for sure aren't Windows migrants, but use UNIX alike computers for serious work, in a for good reasons well established work flow. Some things should make progress, art, science etc., other things are well established and shouldn't be changed, since no sane progress is possible. We use forks and knives and don't change it and we should use the bell, too, since it is like forks and knives, the bell isn't something like art, science etc. ... IOW it's not great if Ubuntu developers don't fix a bug, but instead shut away forks and knives during dinner. -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
